These are the ramblings of a self-described wheat, grain and gluten-free “gourmet girl” that loves to cook and eat good food. I love creating and sharing recipes and photographing “beautiful food”. In July 2012, I eliminated wheat, grains and added sugar from my diet and rediscovered real, whole fresh foods again and effortlessly lost 65+ pounds. Join me in my wheat, grain and gluten-free journey. See how easy it is to enjoy grain free gourmet, one meal at a time! Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Grilled Filet Mignon w/ Mushrooms, Red Peppers & Onions

This afternoon hubby and I worked on trying to bring some order to our house. While we didn't finish, by any means, we at least made a noticeable dent! If we don't get a handle on it before the holidays...well, I will just need to move and start over again...LOL. We cleaned and worked until late in the afternoon and then ran out and did a bit of grocery shopping. Only one son came for dinner tonight (the one that likes beef)...so I decided with the beautiful weather AND the son that likes beef eating with us, that it would be a great evening to grill steaks. We had simple grilled filet mignon with fresh mushrooms sauteed in Kerrygold butter, steamed broccoli, sauteed red peppers and onions and both of the guys had baked potatoes with their meal. It was simple, fresh and delicious! I snapped a quick photo for you to see below. Enjoy!

Filets are on our menu tonite too! Love love love 'em. Wish it was grass fed but can't afford that right now! Just a quick question...do you not eat white potatoes at all? because they are a starchy vegetable? i also love steamed red potatoes. Just curious. I love potatoes so much ......especially breakfast ones with peppers, onions, etc. I use red skinned (skin on) or regular. I always try to be organic potatoes because one time I watched a show about the awful pesticides they spray on nonorganic ones. :) Have a super evening and thanks again for the posts. I don't always get to comment but I do love your blog!

Hi Patricia -- thanks, I love filet mignon too! I do love potatoes but do not eat them because of the starch -- for me, it's best not to eat them except for rarely because of my triglycerides. I am trying to keep them down and avoid as much starch as possible. But...I love them and like you said, breakfast potatoes with onions, peppers, etc. -- yummy! Thanks for the kind comments as always! :-)

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog! I look forward to sharing my love of food, cooking and photography with you as well as some of my favorite recipes and food finds. Cooking is a passion and I love experimenting in the kitchen. I rarely follow a recipe exactly and usually feel the need to add a "tweak or two" to make it my own. I hope you get an idea or two while you are here. Cooking doesn't have to be complicated and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to be a good cook. There are so many ways to make a quick and delicious meal without having to run through the drive-thru. You can "have it your way" every day AT HOME! Enjoy!

*Note: Effective July 10, 2012, all recipes (except for an occasional one made for others) are completely grain free, wheat free, gluten free with no added sugar and can be found below in the list of recipes under "Wheat/Grain/Gluten Free Recipes". Enjoy!
